The Justice dodged the loaded question. So did Senators John Cornyn, John Kennedy and Marsha Blackburn when they were asked the exact same question later.
Loaded question? How?

If you are part of the SCOTUS or a billionaire, I assume most of that money is going towards security.

^This. Which means they know Biden or whoever else they plan to run next year will lose, along with more house and senate seats so they are trying to stack the courts now while they can to protect all of Biden's EO.

Maybe this is the ultimate plan behind the NWO. Our Federal government is broken up into three parts, and each part is there to protect America from one branch having too much power. If the current media can sway the public to turn on the SCOTUS, can u imagine what the USA will look like without a SCOTUS, then it shouldn't take much for them to either erase or completely take over the legislative and executive branches with the judicial branch gone.

Another day, another Thomas financial ethics revelation. Now reports that he falsified some $50,000 to $100,000 annual income in recent years claiming it came from a long defunct company. He has previously failed to report his wife's income from a conservative think tank, vacations paid by millionaires, and RE transactions. This man and his wife are true DC swamp monsters.

Thomas has shown over and over again that he lacks ethics and needs to go. The Supreme Court needs urgent reform with a defined code of ethics that specifies penalties for noncompliance.

Would you expect your minimum wage friend to ever pick up the tab? I wouldn't.
Does my "minimum wage friend" work for the federal government?

But who is going to do these investigations when it's clear, the FBI, DOJ, CIA and the courts are all corrupt?

I doubt Thomas is giving the man sexual favors, you think it’s just Clarence’s charming personality that binds the friendship?
You must not hang around wealthy people much. They are just like every other person in that they will find someone they connect with and that friendship grows. My boss is worth millions and when his father was running the company, he had hired this guy and he and the son struck a chord. Now, the guy has long left the company to start his own and he is worth maybe $100,000 at the most, but he and my boss still hang out every weekend and go out on the yacht all the time for fishing and whatnot. So it does happen.

Yes I have been around and even related to very wealthy people. Not saying they can’t be friends have things in common. However it’s very unusual for one party to shower expensive vacations on the other year after year. Most people want to show their gratitude and appreciation for someone that does so much for you or else you’re just a loser taking advantage.

There are certainly people like Kato Kaelin who hang around with rich people such as O.J. Simpson.

They are friends, of a sort.

Strange to think of a Justice of the SCOTUS as a "professional friend."

lmao ... you could apply that "logic" to a Mayor in a town of 100.

Special "friendship" laws for policy makers need to be enacted?
